Baby cost calculator

I’m sure anyone who’s been following the octuplets story has contemplated the financial strain of raising eight babies.

If you want to do some of your own estimates, BabyCenter.com has a calculator that allows you to figure out how much it would take to raise a baby through the first year. Most of the figures it uses seem pretty accurate to me, and you can check boxes to tailor the items included to your own situation. The only number I’d really question would be the $105 a month estimate for formula.
